ITB 23-125 Small County Outreach Program (SCOP) Project; North Dunkenfield Avenue from West Venable Street to 250 (Linear Feet) North of North Marion Way

Citrus County, Florida (“County”) invites interested parties to submit a Bid to provide roadway full depth reclamation (FDR) and resurfacing Work for two lanes of N. Dunkenfield Ave from W. Venable St. to 250 Linear feet North. of N. Marion Way, approximately 1.9 miles per lane. Successful Bidder shall furnish all labor, material, consumables, tools and appropriate equipment necessary to perform all operations for FDR, resurfacing, and all other work noted in the plans.
The work shall consist of the production of a stabilized base course composed of a pulverized and blended mixture of the existing bituminous concrete pavement, the entire existing base course and any supplemental base material that is added for strength or road widening. Stabilization of the reclaimed materials shall be accomplished by injecting Emulsion and spreading Portland cement with the reclaimed materials to for a stabilized base course in accordance with these specifications. The finished product shall consist of 8” stabilized base and 2” of Type FC 12.5 Asphalt (76-22 modified polymer), Traffic Level C. All materials including cement, asphalt, and supplemental base material, shall comply with these specifications. The ultimate roadway section shall consist of two 11’ travel lanes. Additionally, there will be a 30-day road closure for the excavation of unsuitable material and replacement of suitable sub-grade and base material (approximately 665 feet in length and the full width of the roadway). Asphalt to be provided for the project must be identified on the current FDOT Asphalt Mix Design Plant Assignment Sheet and is to be submitted with the Bid. Pavement Markings are to meet the current MUTCD criteria.
The project includes pavement reconstruction of Dunkenfield Ave from W Venable St to N Marion Way. From W Venable St to north of W Snow Ct. (STA 10+50 to STA 85+70) the existing pavement shall be reconstructed using Full Depth Reclamation topped with an asphalt pavement overlay. From north of W Snow Ct. to south of W Cottage Ln (STA 85+70 to STA 94+15) the existing pavement shall be fully reconstructed including removal of unsuitable material below the roadway, placement of new roadway embankment, and roadway reconstruction using Type B Stabilized Subgrade, Limerock Base, and Asphalt Pavement. From south of W Cottage Ln to N Marion Way (STA 94+15 to STA 109+91.47) the existing pavement shall be reconstructed using Full Depth Reclamation topped with an asphalt pavement overlay. Other work includes milling and asphalt resurfacing at pavement connection points, temporary and permanent pavement markings, shoulder grading (Contractor is responsible for providing positive drainage away from the roadway surface), sodding, erosion and sediment control and maintenance of traffic.
This Project will be awarded as a Unit Price Bid Contract. Minimum Requirements For Submitting A Bid
? Bidder must presently have or will procure at time of award of a contract, personnel, materials, and equipment necessary to perform the work outlined in this Invitation to Bid.
? Bidders and/or Subcontractors must be pre-qualified by the Florida Department of Transportation and submit a copy of such at the time of Bid Submittal for:
• Grading • Grassing • Seeding & Sodding • Hot Plant-Mixed Bituminous Courses • Pavement Markings
? In accordance with the FDOT grant Agreement, Bidders must submit an asphalt mix, with the bid, that is identified on the current FDOT Asphalt Mix Design Plant Assignment Sheet; no substitutions or mix modifications will be allowed.
? In accordance with the FDOT grant Agreement, Bidders must submit an Approved Herbicide/Sterilant Specifications.
? Bidder must have an individual on site during all phases of work associated with this project including but not limited to roadway preparation, leveling, paving, striping, and sod placement who is certified in work zone safety (Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) Intermediate Level) in accordance with the Florida Department of Transportation requirements.
? Full Depth Reclamation Contractor Qualifications:
a. Minimum Mandatory Qualifications
1. The Contractor shall have a minimum of five (5) years’ experience in full-depth reclamation work with city, county, or state projects. References shall include projects in the State of Florida during the last five years that involve full-depth reclamation for asphalt stabilized base course.
2. The Contractor shall have in their possession or available to them by formal agreement at the time of bidding, one or more reclamation machines as described in the following subsection 2.1 of these specifications and other equipment and supplies which are necessary to perform the required work. Equipment shall be listed on the “EQUIPMENT LIST” form and included with bid.
2.1 Equipment
The Contractor shall furnish all equipment and personnel necessary to pulverize, spread, shape, remove excess material, inject asphalt emulsion, mix, grade and compact the processed base material to proper slope and grade. The Contractor shall utilize a reclamation machine, specifically manufactured to accomplish the work, which can effectively break, pulverize, mix, and asphalt stabilize the material to be recycled. The equipment to be used must also have the capability of introducing the asphalt emulsion uniformly and at an accurate rate to the recycled materials. The reclamation machine must be equipped with an engine of sufficient horsepower to be capable of pulverizing and mixing the pavement, base material, and sub grade soil up to a depth of at least fifteen inches (15”). The reclamation machine shall be capable of metering the asphalt emulsion application rate through an automatic injection system and shall be equipped with an asphalt emulsion storage tank of sufficient capacity to ensure an uninterrupted supply of the proper amount of asphalt emulsion into the base material when processing around corners, cul-de-sacs, dead-end streets, and other tight areas or at busy intersections. Contractor shall have a grader and water truck available to prepare the material before compaction and control dust. The Contractor shall have a trimming machine available to precisely remove material equal to the depth of the new asphalt. Compaction equipment shall be adequate to provide consistent densities of at least 98% of the maximum density per the T-180 modified test in the opinion of the Citrus County representative.
b. Preferred Qualification
Membership in Asphalt Recycling and Reclaiming Association preferable. If a member, provide documentation of membership with a bid.
